My review

Review from Matthew Medley

This app has become unusable with the new animations and menus. Before the update, it was short, sweet, and to the point but now it is so flashy that I cannot efficiently use it for school. Just using the website is now a faster experience than the app.

It's been great so far except for one very very annoying thing. I've been getting multiple notifications for the same assignment after being marked. I've had the exact same notification at least six times. Once is quite sufficient thank-you!!!

The app worked quite well for the last three months until my school stopped showing in the server. Error MSG was a "We're unable to reach your institution's server". No bueno

Can't open any documents to save my life. If I have a blackboard app, I want to be able to open the documents. Y'all got rid of the last blackboard app and replaced it with a terrible one. Horrible.

Aw, I really liked the little animations, made it really polished, shame they're gone. It's still far better than the earlier stoneaged version, BRING BACK THE ANIMATIONS AS AN OPTION!

This app is reliable, fast, and very intuitive. My favorite things about this app are: how the first thing you see are the class announcements, which is incredibly handy, and that the grades are color coded, which makes quick work of finding the assignment that's bringing your overall grade down

There's no notifications.. at all.. What's the use of it ?! The app before it has notifications.. Letting you know everything.. Assignments , announcements .. etc.. But this one .. useless.. 😡😠

Almost impossible to use. Always crashes School always logs out and sometimes doesn't show up. Next to do and recent is never accurate. Extremely disappointing especially since this is our future we're dealing with. I can download a free app from the App Store and waste my life away on a much better application then this thrown together mess. Fix it!

Actually I would give it 0 stars for how crappy it is. At first, it was okay but not good, at least I was able to view PowerPoint and other documents. Now after the latest update, it's completely worthless. Change it back!

Your last update ruined your app! How am I supposed to tell which discussion board post are unread or have unread replies? No one cares how many total replies a thread has, please return the how many replies are unread feature! Uninstalling untill you can fix this failure

The most recent update has made the app infinitely nicer to use, it's faster, it's laid out more logically, it feels smoother and more reliable, and it makes more sense to use. I really like what they've done.

Where do I start? This app has so many problems that I can't understand how is even running. I have to Login two times everytime I need to use it, plus I receive three notifications at random times about the same assignment and yet, I don't receive no notifications when it comes to new content or communication board. The two stars is only because of the concept.

The designers of this app are Neanderthals - that's my only assumption from the fact that I can't even open pdf's anymore. I really hope that one day, someone will come out with a better app/website so that we don't have to suffer through the results of lazy software developers.

So, about 50% of the time I really like this app! I think the UI is pretty and more user-friendly than the actual desktop site is. I also really like getting alerts when there is a new grade. The issue is the other 50%. I am notified of a new grade roughly five times per grade, even if I go check the grade through the first reminder. Also, links to the discussion boards work maybe one out of every five times I try to access them, which is a real problem because most of my required assignments are on the boards.

I love the new modern design, albeit the wiggly graphics on everything are bit extra. However I couldn't care less about the design what's important is the functionality! I've updated and continue to receive the persistent, "You are not connected to the internet," error message when I indeed am. I have received the same grade notification for the past 3 days 10x/day but haven't received any regarding new content or even announcements. Please get this fixed asap the app before functioned better than this. Bring back notifications for new content and announcements, initiate notifications for BB mail, let us upload and download. I depend on this app when I'm away from a computer.

Nice app, very attractive, reasonably easy to navigate. My main problem with it is that it keeps giving me multiple notifications for a single event like a grade, even after I've viewed the grade on both the website and the app. Eventually it will stop but once is enough. I don't need to be notified five times about the same grade on my paper.

the app tells me I don't have an internet connection when I try to go to "my grades". Sends me repeated notifications about the same exact grade being updated but doesn't send me any about uploaded content. The mobile learn version may have had a less user friendly interface and may not have been as pretty but it is definitely better than whatever this is. I'm in college and my school uses blackboard for various things, having the app for blackboard is a very helpful thing, but not with this version.
